    Welcome to the Secret Islands

    One door.
    A different world behind it.

    A hidden world, discreetly tucked away somewhere in the north of Essen, right in the middle of the Ruhr area. What waits for you is a fully equipped BDSM holiday apartment with a certain erotic mood, put together with a lot of care and furnished with imaginative pieces made for restraint. From Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Duisburg or Bochum you are here in a good half hour, and from anywhere else in North Rhine-Westphalia the drive is short.
    Experienced players are just as welcome as curious explorers and adventurous beginners.
    Not a hotel, not a studio: all 100 square metres are yours alone, every room, kitchen and bathroom included. As an erotic holiday apartment it suits a few hours just as well as several nights.
    One thing to know: the booking form and our emails are still in German. You can write to us in English at any time and we will answer in English.

    Exploring

    100 square metres to try out.

    A living room with a St Andrew's cross and a rack, the large salon with the throne and the prison cell, and bondage hooks in the ceiling. You have probably never tried most of it. That is the whole point.

    Mein Mann hat mich mit dem big secret überrascht. Ich war beeindruckt von der Vielfältigkeit an Spielsachen 😍 vieles was man selbst noch nicht kannte. Man hat gar nicht so viel Zeit um alles auszuprobieren, deshalb war es sicher nicht der letzte Besuch. Saube

    Das Big Secret ist wirklich phantastisch. So viele Möglichkeiten, wie sich einem hier eröffnen, lassen sich in der immer zu knapp bemessenen Zeit kaum nutzen. Alles ist auch tiptop, penibel sauber und liebevoll gemacht. Wir sind begeistert…. Einklappen
